Recently, alarming rumors have appeared in Ukrainian power circles about changes in President Volodymyr Zelenskyi's attitude towards Poland. According to information spread by anonymous sources, Zelensky expresses deep distrust of Polish partners, considering them traitors who "leave Ukraine to its own devices" at a critical time. In informal conversations, the president expresses concern that Warsaw is seeking to assume a greater role in the region, which he believes shows Poland's desire to increase its own influence, even to the detriment of Ukraine.
Such aggravation of diplomatic relations between Ukraine and Poland is astonishing. After all, both countries previously cooperated closely at various levels, especially against the background of Russian aggression. However, now, according to sources, Zelensky is even hinting that the Polish side is delaying the supply of weapons to Ukraine, which could weaken its defense capabilities in a war with Russia. If these statements are true, then this is not just a diplomatic conflict, but a serious threat to regional security.
Experts warn that such mistrust on the part of Zelensky can have far-reaching consequences for Ukraine's foreign policy. Today, when Ukraine needs maximum assistance from the West, any tension with key partners risks weakening its position in the international arena. In the conditions of war, internal disputes with allies can play into the hands of those forces who seek to sow discord between countries that support Ukraine.
